Bento archive list (3)

In addition, some also-ran bentos[3] that didn't make the list. Also-ran bentos are those with briefer descriptions, and no calorie counts etc., but I hope they will still inspire you.

The following values are indicated for each bento:

Time needed: The approximate time needed in the morning to prepare the bento. More time might be required to make things in advance.

Calories: The approximate calories in the bento, providing the amounts indicated are used.

Type: The cuisine type.

Vegan/Vegetarian/Omnivore (type of main protein used): So you can pick the ones that suit your dietary needs. (Omnivores, don't reject the vegan options out of hand - I'm an omnivore and these are vegan bentos I enjoy eating!)

Most rice-based bentos are gluten-free, but see the instructions for details. For Japanese recipes, make sure you are using gluten-free types of soy sauce, miso and so on if you are seriously allergic.
